The Second Law of Thermodynamic in Quantum System

The second law of thermodynamics is one of the most fundamental and for-reaching laws of physics. It teaches us that when a closed system undergoes a thermodynamic process the entropy of the system never decreases; it increases, or at least remains constant. If the entropy increases the thermodynamic process is irreversible, otherwise it is reversible. Only ideal thermal process is reversible. In classical world a great number of facts have proved the second law is true. But in quantum world since the quantum coherence and correlations exist we are not sure the second law is still true, at least in principle. This is because that： 1. on the microscopic level the irreversibility is conflict with the reversibility of all fundamental physical laws ; 2. there are not enough evidences to show it is true in quantum world.     

含有多目标的量子部分搜索——目标被非平均分配在两块中

Grover搜索是一种量子搜索方法,利用了量子叠加态的性质,通过一些操作的反复作用,而使目标态的几率幅变大,非目标态的几率幅变小,从而以较大的概率找到目标.与经典搜索方法相比,能够较快地从一个数据库中找到目标元.这是一种搜索到目标的全部信息的方法,但是在有些情况下,我们并不需要知道目标的全部信息,而只需要知道目标的部分信息,因而只需要找到含有目标的一部分数据库中的元素,这就是部分搜索.Grover和Radhakrishnan提出了一种部分搜索方法,称为Grover-Radhakrishnan Algorithm of Partial Search(GRK),所考虑的数据库只含有一个目标.在我们的文章中,我们研究了在含有多目标的数据库,且目标被随机分配在两块中时,GRK所需要的查询次数会有怎么样的变化.得到查询次数s和所分块数K、目标数t的关系.并且与平均分配的情况进行比较.

Ionic conductivity enhancement during pre-crystallization in amorphous lithium ionic conductor Li2B2O4

It is found from the temperature dependence of the ionic conductivity of amorphous Li₂B₂O₄ that the ion transport process is rather complicated. At temperature below T_k (≈310°C), the ionic conductivity obeys an Arrhenius relation. Above the crystallization temperature T_c (≈410°C) ion transport is dominated by the process in the crystalline state. In between the ionic conductivity is anomalously enhanced. In this pre-crystallization range two distinguishable steps with a transition temperature at T_p (≈380°C) can be identified. At temperature between T_k and T_p, the conductivity increase is due to the redistribution of free volume. For temperature between T_p and T_c the specimen contains a small amount of crystallites but the crystallinity is less than 5%. The ⁷Li NMR spectra show that the line shape of partially crystallized amorphous material is quite similar to that of LiCl containing DSPP but in this case the second-phase particles are crystallites of the parent material.     

INFLUENCE OF ENTANGLEMENT DEGREE ON SQUEEZING AND PHOTON ANTIBUNCHING IN THE JAYNES-CUMMINGS MODEL

We consider the case that one of entangled atoms interacts with a single-mode cavity field. The atom is selectively detected after exiting the cavity, and it is found that the nonclassical properties of field states depend strongly on the entanglement degree between the two atoms. Meanwhile it is proven that squeezing of field and photon antibunching can be greatly enhanced via selective atomic measurements.     

乙醇与三氯六氨络合钴协同作用导致的DNA凝聚

利用原子力显微镜技术(AFM),系统地研究了由乙醇与多价离子(hexammine cobalt(Ⅲ)[Co(NH3)36+])协同作用导致的λ-DNA凝聚现象.单独测得3价Co(NH3)36+的临界凝聚浓度大约是10μmol·L-1,乙醇的临界凝聚体积分数大约是15%.若3价离子[Co(NH3)36+]的浓度大于400μmol·L-1时,可以观察到DNA的解凝聚现象.在DNA溶液中同时加入乙醇(体积分数12%)与Co(NH3)36+(8μmol.L-1),当其浓度各低于其临界值,也可观察到凝聚现象,说明乙醇与Co(NH3)36+对DNA的凝聚有协同作用,而且在协同作用下,可以观察到典型的圆环结构(toroids).利用电荷逆转与离子释放机制分析了观察到的解凝聚现象.     

Single DNA Condensation Induced by Hexammine Cobalt with Molecular Combing

We investigated the interaction between DNA and hexammine cobalt III [Co(NH₃)₆]³⁺ by a simple molecular combing method and dynamic light scattering. The average extension of ?λ-DNA-YOYO-1 complex is found to be 20.9 μm, about 30% longer than the contour length of the DNA in TE buffer (10 mmol/L Tris, 1 mmol/L EDTA, pH=8.0), due to bis-intercalation of YOYO-1. A multivalent cation, hexammine cobalt, is used for DNA condensation. We find that the length of DNA-[Co(NH₃)₆]³⁺ complexes decrease from 20.9 μm to 5.9 μm as the concentration of the [Co(NH₃)₆]³⁺ vary from 0 to 3 μmol/L. This observation provides a direct visualization of single DNA condensation induced by hexammine cobalt. The results from the molecular combing studies are supported by dynamic light scattering investigation, where the average hydrodynamic radius of the DNA complex decreases from 203.8 nm to 39.26 nm under the same conditions. It shows that the molecular combing method is feasible for quantitative conformation characterization of single bio-macromolecules.

QUANTUM GAP SOLITON IN PARAMETRIC PROCESS

The Hamiltonian of the process of cascaded second harmonic generation is found from Maxwell equations. In the double-gap model and under rotating-wave and effective-mass approximations, it is quantized and the generalized quantum nonlinear Shr?dinger equation (GQNSE) is obtained. Tri-photon and quadri-photon bound states are found based on general solutions of GQNSE solved via Bethe's Ansatz method. Quantum parametric gap soliton (QPGS) solution is constructed consequently, and the existence of the double-gap QPGS is predicted for the first time.
